A federal court in Georgia has granted a preliminary injunction to prevent Donald Trump and his presidential campaign from using the song “Hold On, I’m Coming” at his political rallies, finding that the plaintiffs are likely to show at trial that such use was in violation of the copyright.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Thrash Jr. issued the order Wednesday in response to a motion filed by the estate of musician Isaac Hayes against Trump and his campaign. The copyright complaint was filed Aug. 16 by attorneys James L. Walker Jr. and Gerald Griggs in the U.S District Court for the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta.
